Right Track - Chicago Politics

My friend Bob sent me this interesting data abaout Chicago. It was coupled with the affairs in Oklahoma, but we'll look at that next week.

Some interesting data on the 'state' of Illinois ... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ? Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago . 221 killed in Iraq ; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

Nice try, except that Mark Kirk, the OTHER Illinois senator, is Republican. I know you aren't from here, but each state DOES get TWO senators. Also, 1/3 of the 18 Illinois reps of the House of Representatives are Republicans. There are PLENTY of Republicans who are in jail, too. So nice try with the half-truths and full blown lies.
